Mcmaster sent a new book and I didn’t even have to ask!
Not living in USA anymore you can’t imagine how much I miss this business. Even in the land that created the DIN norms, we’re not even close
What am I looking at?
Printed catalogue of a monstrously large online parts store.
As impressive as the physical catalog is, their website is legitimately phenomenal. Super easy to find anything (as long as they sell it), most items with freely downloadable CAD of several formats, all with zero BS.
And if you think the McMaster catalog is beefy, you should see the Misumi catalog!
It is THE e-commerce site I like to show people what I mean when I say “good UX”. It’s basically perfect. You can find the perfect part in less than 10 clicks, It’s lightning fast, no useless white space, no pop ups or cookie banners. Every site should be built like that.
Yeah, their product filters are incredible and to-the-point. In stark contrast, Amazon’s product filters are unequivocally useless.
This guy knows
Can’t say that I’ve really looked at Misumi. I know their name popped up when I was shopping to build a Voron printer in regards to 2020 extrusions and the like.
Every possible component, screw, nut, fastener, piece of billet, pipe, component. Raw stock for plastic, every possible conceivable commercial industrial component is seemingly in that book.
What nobody is telling you is that you have to spend over a threshold to get given one, its a rite of passage.
Billion dollar bible
That is a chunky catalog
A little, yes.
Envious. A bit.
But, I prefer the website.
I can doomscroll this before bed and nobody will judge me
Phone book sized!
Way more cool than the Uline books I would get.

How’d you get this? I want one 😭
Good karma I think.
